Thank you for showing me Bioderma - great for removing makeup and only 4 euros!

We needed it since Vero tested out three different makeup bases on my skin (two of them mine) before she was happy with Armani #5 (not mine). She uses her hands to apply makeup as well as to test it out (bye-bye my fancy makeup brush). We did everything by the window and mirror for natural light. So many times you get made-over in a department store under florescent lights and then walk outside and wonder, 'What have I done?'

Like every artist Veronique uses a paintbox. But she smushes lipsticks into hers .

A British fashion photographer saw her drawing on set. He told her to become a makeup artist et voila!

Veronique's 'book' is loaded with gorge samples.

You can come to Veronique's place

Or Veronique can come to you for a makeup lesson using your stuff and hers. Great fun indeed.

I agree it's great fun to see these great photos/art..I have used that mascara..all the magazines say it's great..but I am using another now..she makes me want to switch:)And of course now I would like to try Bioderma..Flou is wonderful..especially in lighting when almost 60:)

Veronique Marot is an artist who uses faces as her canvas. I want to be painted by her for the same reason I'd want to be painted by John Singer Sargent: she'd make me look like me alright, only ten times better.

Hi Amy. Benefit has an eyeshadow base that might work for you...Or just some eyeliner at the base of the lashes might be enough perhaps! I like the YSL liner in a tube, or you can try the Bobby Brown or the MAC eyeliner... And yes Carol, the naked lid is also nice, non?

Fun! I have the curliest eyelashes and never need to curl them--I need an un-curler! When mascara goes on them, they curl back and hit my eyelid! Sounds like you had a good time learning all this, Carol.

And yes--always with natural light or you look like you have a mask on.

She is right about the Shu U. eyelash curler!! For the eyeshadow: lots of companies make a base that you smooth on under powders - my current fave is by Too Faced. And there are lots of cream shadows that have staying power - look for ones labelled "creme to powder" if they don't say they'll stay all day.

I lOVE makeup, which is why I was thrilled when I was hired at Sephora in the states :) We used to carry Shu Uemura eyelash curlers until they pulled out of the U.S. *sobs* I'm now using a MAC one, which is second runner up. Urban Decay makes a great eyeshadow primer (I live in Atlanta and my eyeshadow and Bobbi Brown eyeliner stay put.) Just curious as to what Bobbi Brown blusher shade you have... looks gorgeous!

I love artists like Veronique Marot who are true artists and can apply it to face, because every face is a blank canvas. What an honour to have done this! Oh, and I read all sorts of wonderful things about Bioderma on beauty blogs and of course it's not available in the states!
